all his life leading place in the Circuit
and Supreme Courts. Thus prepared by so

His mental erdowments were of such a

He was elected judge of the thirteenth jul

of the youngest judges in the State. He
has presided over these courts with credit

CHAGLEsTowN, W. VA, May For
some time past and especially ever since
the meeting of the Legislature in extra ses-
sion the Senatorial question has been up
permost in the minds of men of this sec
ton, not only because of its importance to
the entire State but also from reasons of a
local character, Governor Wilson being a
native of Jefferson county. Mr. Lucas. his
appointee, one Of her most prominent men,
and several of the best known kickers COM

accounts for his kicking propensities on the
ground that he is a native of Jefferson.

feeling of satisfaction that the Legislature
has chosen to fiji the Office Of United States

representatives, nor even the social quail
ties that have made Judge Faulkner such :
general fayorite. The new Senator's legal
talents, his rare business ability and practi-
cal sense, his unblemished record as a Dem
ocrat and his unimpeachable integrity, all
designate him as a man peculiarly fitted for
the high office to which he has been elected
and a worthy successor to so able and faith
full a representative of the people of West
Virginia as Ex-senator Camden has been.
The only regret expressed at Judge Faux
ners elevation to the Senatorship is because
of the loss the district will sustain in being
deprived of his services as a judge. in which
capacity he has not only gained the conf
dence and esteem of all but has displayed
rare qualifications and abilities-pronounc

mong the brightest men of the democratic
party in the State, he is an excellent lawyer
and has been an impartial, painstaking and
praiseworthy judge. If Mr. Lucas locks
horns with him in a contest the fight will
be very interesting and warm.
From The Alexandria Gazette.
His election was peculiarly gratifying to
Senator Camden's friends, as he has been a
lifelong friend of Camden, and on the tariff,
currency and all other great questions of
the day, his views and Camden's accord.
The vote which decided his election was
cast by the delegate from Camden's home.
correspondent at Charleston wrote to
the Baltimore Sun as follows May 9th;
an conversation tonight with Senators
Kenna and Camden, your correspondent
asked them what they thought of the result.
Senator Camden said: The action of my
friends cannot but be satisfactory to me.
My letter fully explained my position. The
new Senator has always been my friend,
with all that the word implies. We agree
fully and cordially on all the great questions
of the day, especially the tariff question.
1t is peculiarly satisfactory to me because
Mr. Faulkner was in full sympathy with the
majority of the Democrats in the Legisla-
ture. When nominated in the regular ses-
sion by one of the kickers, State Senator
Gettinger stated that he had letter from
Judge Faulkner in which he said that he
would not accept a nomination from any
save but from a regular Democratic caucus
Senator Kenna said After Mr.. Camden's
withdrawal, the result is more than pleasing
to me. Judge Faulkner will be admitted
without controversy in the Senate. Cam
den and myself agreed on one proposition
at the beginning of the special session, that
the interest of the State and Democratic
party demanded that there should be no va
cancy in the Senate Your correspondent
also tried to interview Gov Wilson. He
declined any expression of opinion on the
election. When asked what he would do
in regard to certifying to the election of
Senator Faulkner, he replied that he would
certify the facts to the Senate of the United
States and let them determine whether the
election is legal or not"
